LAGENANDRA MEEBOLDII RED – Broad-Leaf Indian Aquarium Plant with Striking Red-Violet Foliage
Lagenandra meeboldii 'Red' is a captivating and resilient aquarium plant native to India, known for its large, undulating leaves and rich color palette ranging from dusty green to deep red-violet—often present on the same leaf. New leaves emerge in a soft pale pink, adding a refined ornamental touch and dynamic contrast to planted tanks. Structurally, it resembles a broad-leaved Cryptocoryne, but offers a more vivid and decorative appearance.
Leaves typically measure 4 to 8 cm wide and up to 12 cm long, forming a relatively broad, bushy plant ideal for midground or background placement. While adaptable to various water conditions, Lagenandra meeboldii 'Red' develops its full coloration under moderate to strong lighting and in nutrient-rich substrate. It’s an excellent choice for natural-style aquascapes or anyone seeking a bold splash of color without demanding care routines.
